Sea Adventures in Westfield Countryside Mall Now Through August 26th!

The following post is sponsored by Sea Adventures in Westfield Countryside Mall, opinions expressed are that of my own.

Living in Florida during the summer means that I am on the hunt for indoor activities to entertain my kiddos when it is rainy or a little too hot to be outside.

Of course it is bonus if I can find a location that offers free activities as well as amenities like restaurants and shops.

Well we recently had one of those rainy days, and thankfully there was plenty to do in Clearwater at the Sea Adventures event in Westfield Countryside Mall!

Now, I have to tell you that I was only expecting to hang out there for a couple hours, but my daughter was having such an EPIC time that we stayed for 4.

At Westfield Countryside Mall she was able to check out a petting zoo, meet and take a “Shelfie” with a mermaid, as well as get her Face Painted.

Of course one of the best parts, was the very cool TREASURE HUNT that lead her to all of these fun activities.

We were given a map with the bounty locations and a sheet with scavenger hunt clues.

At each location she received a stamp on her map along with a goody item to go into her treasure pail to keep.

Plus once we finished up, we sat down (Mom in a beach chair and my daughter on a comfy beach theme pillow) to watch Finding Nemo on a big screen TV.

We shop for clothes and sneakers at the mall. We always seem to get great deals and since I have a teen that is very into music and bands the mall is a great place to find band tees, pins and patches for his backpack or jacket.

I seldom shop at the mall...mostly I buy things online. Sometimes if I need clothing for a special occasion and need to be sure it fits and am in a hurry (i.e., don't want to have to return it and shop for something else due to time constraints) I will go to the mall. I have no school age children so I have no need to shop for back to school

I usually buy shoes at the mall. I need to try them on and don't trust getting shoes online. My kids are grown, but I still love back to school time and look at it as a time to renew (like a new year). I like to organize and reorganize my house this time of year and love to buy supplies that help me do that.

I specifically shop for shoes at the mall. They carry the newest models that are out and that is important to my kids. I've been shoe shopping for back to school season. It matters more to them than clothes or supplies!

Usually I buy items that I need to try on so I don't have to bother with mailing them back. I also like to shop for bedding at the Mall so I can feel the material. I will you be shopping for sneakers during this Back To School Season.

I like shopping at the Mall for items I may need to see or try on in person - e.g., brands whose cut/sizing I’m not familiar with. This back to school season I’ll be shopping for shoes, autumn/winter clothing, & food storage!
